Working as an Education Advisor in a remote Rwandan district for a year gave Denis an insight into a complex society seldom experienced by casual visitors. The book is an anecdotal, humorous and informative account of the events of that period as he explores multiple facets of Rwandan daily life. Each chapter begins with a beautiful full-length photograph and the text is dotted with snapshots referencing the descriptive content. A Year in Rwanda will be invaluable both for people planning to live in the country, as well as visitors and armchair travellers looking for more than a superficial understanding of Rwandan society.
